Untwisting Scriptures to Find Freedom and Joy in Jesus Christ

When God Is Portrayed as an Abuser, Something Has Gone Wrong

Have you been taught that God breaks His children? That embracing suffering makes you more holy? That setting boundaries is selfish?

Church leaders weaponize Scripture to keep believers perpetually wounded. They teach that God crushes His children to make them usable, that suffering is the pathway to holiness, and that victims should focus on their own sin instead of seeking help. But these interpretations aren't biblical—they're spiritually abusive.

Rebecca Davis exposes the Scripture-twisting that presents God as an abuser. With biblical scholarship and trauma-informed compassion, she shows you what Scripture actually teaches about God's restorative heart, healthy boundaries, and holiness.

You'll discover that you can …

• Escape the "brokenness as lifestyle" trap and embrace God's call to healing and wholeness
• Demolish the "suffering as karma" deception—God doesn't orchestrate ongoing suffering as payback
• Break free from "suffering sanctifies" theology—only union with Christ produces holiness

And much more.

God is not an abuser. He is the Healer, the Restorer, the kind and faithful Shepherd who calls you to wholeness, not perpetual woundedness.

Scriptures can be untwisted. You can rise up from crushing spiritual abuse and walk in the freedom of Christ.
